Waterproofing Membrane System

We have developed our own 5 layer waterproofing membrane system, utilizing the diagram above.

Layer 1. First, we secure your plywood deck sub-floor with flexible metal lathe. Optionally, we can lay down our system on top of eligible concrete coated decks. Our polymer modified concrete is super strong. It is also waterproof.

Layer 3. As if that wasn’t enough, we add a second layer of waterproof polymer modified concrete. This gives it a “sandwich” feel. The result is, the fiberglass is protected and the whole waterproofing membrane system is strengthened.

Layer 4. Everyone knows, a slippery decking system is no bueno. Nor, is it attractive. Don’t worry, you choose the finish layer texture. Consequently, you get both a safe and beautiful waterproofing membrane system. Lastly, we spray on a custom pattern with waterproof concrete.

Layer 5. As if four layers of waterproof materials wasn’t sufficient – we add a fifth. Like the texture finish, this is your choice. Thankfully, we have many colors to chose from. Go fresh, get funky if you want. Two powerfully waterproof coats of concrete fortified paint. Boom, this deal is sealed. Just count to five and see the difference a waterproofing membrane system can bring!

We have been developing our custom waterproofing membrane system since 2009.

Because of the beautiful weather in south Orange County, there are many outdoor decks. Yet, when the rains come each year they can

accumulate damage. Homeowners and hotel managers need to need know this firsthand. This is why many have opted out of exposed wood decking. At Prestige Decking, we know how to transform your wood deck into a waterproof plywood deck.

Waterproof Plywood Deck?

There are basically two ways you can go. You can use a clear sealer and keep re-coating every year or two (depending on the local weather). Sure, the look of natural wood is pretty. But, it comes at a heavy cost of money and time for upkeep. Or, you opt to install a more permanent solution.

Waterproof Plywood Deck – How?

If you have a wood slat deck, the first step is to nail down plywood sheeting. This provides a sturdy yet flexible base level for our deck coating system.

Next, metal lathe is securely stapled down. This gives the waterproof plywood deck strong support for the coating layers.

Third comes the concrete. This gives the waterproof plywood deck its core. We use polymer modified concrete to keep the cement from cracking. Each step in the process takes into account the need for a balance between strength and flexibility.

Key in the waterproofing system is fiberglass. Just like in boating and surfing, the waterproof deck repair industry uses fiberglass to ensure a watertight seal. Any pesky leaking water from the top of the deck cannot penetrate our fiberglass layer.

A skim coat of concrete wedges the fiberglass in place and adds strength.

This is a safe waterproof plywood deck system. Added for a non-slip grip is a texture coat pattern (of your choice). It looks really nice as well.

Finally, two coats of concrete fortified paint sealer (you color choice), are sprayed on to seal the deal!

Rain Proof Deck – Upshot

After the deck surface is prepared, the sweetness ensues. Then, comes the metal lathe adhering to the plywood sheeting. This gives strength and flexibility to the substructure. Step two, is the the initial layer of polymer modified concrete. Modification of concrete with polymer additive also creates a flexible, yet strong weight bearing deck component. Next, the crucial waterproofing element is rolled down. Fiberglass matting and waterproof bonder give a watertight seal. For extra strength to the overall system, another layer of concrete is added. Lastly, a texture coat of concrete is sprayed to give a grippy surface, complemented by an aesthetic design. Finally, your choice of waterproof paint sealer gives a finishing touch. Five steps to a rain proof deck!

When you walk on your balcony deck, does it give? Do you have a soft spot on your patio deck coating? Is there a pool of water on a section of your roof decking? Is the deck waterproofing system you had installed getting worn, or slick? Perhaps, you might have a damp deck. A damp deck could be trouble, especially with the rainy winter coming approaching.

Damp Deck – Science

Now you know some of the signs that you could have a damp deck. But what might be causing it? Once your deck gets damp, it is too late.

When you have a deck coating system installed, water can go to one of three places. One, it sheets off the deck. Every properly constructed deck should have gradual sloping that removes excess water. Two, the excess water pools on the decking. If your deck was poorly constructed or the deck waterproofing installers did not do their job right – water will pool in certain areas on the deck’s surface. Three is the worse case scenario. Excess water first will pool, then gravity takes over. It will seep into the deck coating itself and pool underneath the concrete – on the plywood substrate.

Damp Deck – Scare

Water seepage is bad! For one thing, you often have no idea that you have water underneath your deck coating. Second, it begins to rot away at the wood structure. Thus, a damp deck or worse – dry rot!

Damp Deck – Solution

The above situations are what we see all the time at Prestige Decking. Those with a damp deck are not without hope. Not only do we install deck coatings with up to a ten year warranty, but we are experts are deck repair.

Whether you have a home pool, HOA community pool, or a commercial “splash zone,” we have the right system for you.

Pool Waterproofing Membrane

We have developed our own pool waterproofing membrane system. Its five-step application process is as follows:

Repair. Many pools we see have deck damage. Whether cracks, bumps, or decay, we can help. Using a “V-cut” grinder, we level the surface. Then, we apply our epoxy bonder in the crack, in order to make the surface watertight, flexible, and strong.

Waterproofing. What makes us a cut above many companies, is our use of fiberglass. Next in the process, we apply fiberglass matting with a specially formulated bonder. This produces a waterproof surface. Also, it protects the previous crack repair.

Strength. To ensure a strong, safe walking surface, we next use a concrete layer. Our polymer modified concrete is professionally grade. Additionally, it covers and protects the fiberglass.

Texture. We spray on another coat of concrete as texture. This serves two purposes. One, it creates an anti-slip, grippy surface. Two, with your choice of texture pattern, you have a beauty surface to enjoy. A safe and sophisticated pool waterproofing membrane.

Paint. Finally, we enhance the aesthetics and keep a cool surface. This is achieved with two coats of pigmented concrete/masonry floor paint and sealer.

We have been developing our custom pool waterproofing membrane system since 2009.

Our supervisors have at least 40+ years of experience in the pool deck waterproofing industry. We use professional grade, eco-friendly products. We offer 16 choices of color.

Most patio, balcony, and roof decks in Orange County have a wood sub-structure. This means that there are either 2×4 slats running across the beams or there is plywood sheeting on top of the frame. Prestige Deck Coating is an expert at waterproofing plywood decks. We can install our deck coating system over the top of either types. We can also waterproof concrete decks.

Waterproofing Plywood Decks – Repair

Repair. Before we apply our waterproof decking system, we often perform deck repair. We can fix dry rot sections or fully replace plywood sheeting. This is crucial. You can’t have a watertight deck coating with making sure the sub-structure is solid.

Waterproofing Plywood Decks – System

System. Over the top of the plywood sheeting, is a our 6 layer Crete decking system. We have developed it over many years onsite.

Here is a run down on how we waterproof plywood decks:

-Staple down 2.5 galvanized metal diamond lathe. This gives it strength and flexibility.

-Laminate using fiberglass matting & acrylic resin. The fiberglass layer makes your deck waterproof, just like a boat or surfboard. It is placed over the concrete base to protect it from potential leakage and pooling under the layers closer to the surface.

-Trowel down an additional layer of our cementitious base coat. For strength and coverage of the fiberglass, there is another cement level.

-Spray texture of your choice. The texture layer gives a grippy finish and is appealing aesthetically.

-Seal using waterproof, fortified concrete paint. Our two coats of waterproof concrete paint sealer add an extra waterproofing quality. More importantly, you get to choose your color of choice to match your home.
